Instructions to run PSPM.EXE ---------------------------- To run the program enter : PSPM file_name (for file_name substitute the name of the input file) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The first line in the input file is Title The second line is the name of the file to hold the plot data. This file should exist, otherwise the program may stop with a "file not found" error. Instructions follow. Each instruction is made up of two characters followed by a decimal value in the next 15 columns (except for LP, GO and CO - see below). A ** instruction is ignored and may be used to separate data for different trials in the same input file. The program begins execution on encountering the first GO or CO instruction. All instructions have default values assigned by the program. Each instruction line will have one instruction in the FIRST 2 columns followed by a floating point number (or blanks) in the next 15 columns. LIST OF INSTRUCTIONS: Default Description value SC 0.

(anisotropic line width-x, G) WY 5. (anisotropic line width-y, G) WZ 5. (anisotropic line width-z, G) AF 0. (g-strain parameter) GM 0. (A-strain parameter, G) SL 0. (ligand Nuclear Spin) LP - blank followed by 5 lines: lx, ly, lz, A and B for the ligand, in this order (F12.6) One LP instruction followed by 5 data lines required for each ligand (max.10). (The h.f.s constants are to be input as 10^4 A(cm-1) and 10^4 B(cm-1). lx, ly, lz are the direction cosines of the principal axis of the ligand tensor, assumed to be axial. TE 90. (end value for theta, for part calculation only) PE 180. (end value of phi, for part calculation only) PZ 1000. Write data in the plot file after INT(PZ) points and resume. This is a safety measure against loss of result due to power failure etc. in long runs. LS 1. Choose Lorentzian (1.) or Gaussian (2.) shape ** ignore and go to next line. GO Do a full calculation. CO Continue a previous calculation. The instructions can be in any order. The calculations will start at the first GO or CO instruction and the subsequent instructions will be ignored. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Example 1: axial spectrum including metal (I=1/2) and ligand (I=1) hyperfine with isotropic line width (Lorentzian).
